I love this cast and Bud was an underappreciated host - he did such a great job

[@MrMenefrego1]

So true!

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Mr. Haw haw hawwwwwwwwwwww!

[@sbalman]

Love Kitty!!! And, Peggy!

[@Walterwhiterocks]

A really enjoyable episode. All the ladies on this show were pretty and # 2 on the third panel was a real doll !

[@kenyongray2615]

Toni Balangere was a lovely young lady. Orson was a very unique person to say the least.

[@LisaSpangenberg]

What a fun show!

[@Farrah300]

In commenting on Game #2, one can tell that this was the days before fathers went into the delivery room with their wives/partners.

[@jharnden7931]

Orson actually means cute wild bear cub...in early days.

[@SeldimSeen1]

There were plenty of women who were working full time and sharing the financial cost of raising children even in 1964. One of them was my dear late mother.

[@kentetalman9008]

My mom did all that in the 50s. Worked three jobs and found time to cook meals for us. Lived to be 92.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Lady #1 in Game #1 Man #3 in Game #2 Lady #1 in Game #3 (#3 looked like (but wasn't) Marsha, the roller skating waitress on "Happy Days").

[@519djw6]

SPOILER! I thought it was interesting in Round #3 that the former Peace Corps volunteer's *real* wife only got a peck on the cheek from him, whereas he gave a somewhat more sensuous kiss to the the imposters! (I believe this may have been on purpose to fool the panel.)

[@loissimmons6558]

I picked #3 on that basis.

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@loissimmons6558 Me too!!

[@MrXminus1]

They never get away with this today.

[@MrMenefrego1]

Sad, isn't it.

[@kirkmorgan-austin1187]

Does anyone know when TTTT 'settled' on this regular panel?

[@MrMenefrego1]

I do.

[@kevinmadden1645]

I think it was in1962-63.

[@Farrah300]

Miss Balangere was lucky indeed. Concentration camps don't sound good at all!!!

[@DoggieFosters]

How nice, four males are true believers in natural childbirth. 😃

[@ItsMeMissV369]

Thought the same thing!

[@donnawoodford6641]

Males generally don't give birth and don't have to deal with the pain.

[@geraldkatz7986]

I'm not a biologist, but according to University professors and Hollywood celebrities men can give birth.

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@PcareyBoomer Ever have one?

[@PcareyBoomer]

@@MrMenefrego1 No I haven't. My son-in-law recently passed some over several days and suffered greatly. My comment was disrespectful and I am sorry. I have deleted it.

[@FLOGAN222]

Another interesting fact: Did you know that Sue Ellen earned $2,750 in February 1969?

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Fritz Chrysler joined Freddie Fiat and it was all downhill.

[@donnawoodford6641]

The hair on the Hungarian freedom fighter is piled high.

[@MrMenefrego1]

That was the fashion at that time, my mother and numerous other 60s ladies did the same.

[@adamcoates2890]

Amen, so glad that kitty and peggy spoke up against this ridiculous book in this chauvinist idea.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

They are Hungry.. we should send food !

[@sweiland75]

4:43 I see this mentality of Americans being untouchable also existed, in 1964. If you violate laws in another country, you should be punished, even if you are an American.

[@artygunnar]

except in america you cant punis

[@kelleybunny]

no, she was asking how can you put a U.S citizen in a concentration camp.. which had nothing to do with law-breaking.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Such as the American servicemen in Vietnam who put a shotgun to the heads of innocent babies and blowing out their brains for sport. War crimes that went unpunished.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Where does she dance...In her underpants !

[@MrMenefrego1]

What a Jackass!

[@CoxJoxSox]

A shameful part of history - very little was done to help the Hungarians - we should have fought the Soviets after WW2.

[@tennissir1986]

Absolutely true. It would have saved about 110,000 American lives lost in Korea and Vietnam (as those wars were really proxy wars against Russia and China). Probably would have saved hundreds of trillions of dollars of many years of military spending during the Cold War.

[@keymaninmusic]

I dislike part of this episode, but I'm not allowed to say this.
